Hi Carol - I LOVE Downton Abbey!! My fave character is the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith's character). I agree the costumes from before the 20's were spectacular but this season has some beautiful costumes too. I'm fascinated with the characters reactions to all the new technology and how the world was industrialized. It makes me think of how my great-grandmother would have reacted. Being born in 1879, she saw many inventions we all take for granted! Regards, Sherri Goldberg Thornhill, Ontario, Canada sherrigoldberg1@gmail.com Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

I am so hooked on it. It is on Sunday evenings and this is it's 4th season and while I know they are now in production with the 5th season I doubt it will go on much longer after that and I will miss it then. This season is played in the 20's and although the costumes are still interesting the previous seasons costumes were absolutely amazing. I have bought the DVD's for season 1 thru 3 and will probably buy the next ones also. It is very English and very hard for me to understand sometimes so watching them over and over I usually hear something new. One of the characters is named John Bates and I am totally in love with him!
